The Knights finished the season with a 14-8 dual record in which they went 314-249 in all bouts wrestled.  They outscored their opponents, 914-640.

“Quality programs are led by quality people,” said reported Kevin Fick.  “The Knights wrestling program is no exception in that the man at the helm is Head Coach Brandon Gruchow.  Before getting into the team accomplishments it would be a travesty to not take the time to thank Mr. Gruchow and his family for all they do for this wrestling team, school system and community.”

Senior Wyatt Olson placed third in Class A State Tournament competition at 195 pounds, receiving All-State recognition.  Olson was also the recipient of the Most Valuable Wrestler award and the Sportsmanship award.
